Tottenham’s players are under pressure to take a salary cut.
Another ex Tottenham Hotspur man has had his say on the club’s wages dilemma.
Tottenham placed 550 non playing staff on furlough leave, but their multi-million players are yet to take a pay cut of any kind, Sky News reported.
Former Tottenham defender Ramon Vega, who played for the club between 1997 and 2001, said he was ‘very disappointed’ the players had not collectively taken a decision first to drop their wages.
Leeds United are one club who have taken a wage cut and The Telegraph report Brentford’s players are on the verge of agreeing a wage deferral.
